OK, here is another milestone on this blog, passing the six-thousandth post. I don’t have much to offer in the way of commemoration, but I did find some preliminary documents in a unit I planned to write on interjections. These are pretty basic; I didn’t proceed with developing the unit for a variety of reasons, though primarily because I didn’t think this relatively minor part of speech required a full unit. Put another way, I decided that if students knew (they did and probably still do) that Homer Simpson says “d’oh” and Peter Griffin says “crap” when something annoyed, vexed, or otherwise exercised them, then they understood that an interjection, mainly, was “a cry or inarticulate utterance (such as Alas! ouch! phooey! ugh!) expressing an emotion.”
So, without further ado, here are the unit plan in barest outline, with the similarly graphically configured first lesson plan and second lesson plan, and, finally, this interjections review worksheet.
That’s it. Now it’s on to 7,000.
This is the place where I usually plead for peer review and notifications about typos in documents. There’s nothing much to comment on with these documents, which are basically templates. Nonetheless, if you think interjections require their own lesson, or even unit, I would be interested in hearing about that thought.
